About Willawaw Journal

Willawaw Journal is an FREE online journal for poetry and art, published three times per year. Each issue features a poem prompt or mentor poem from one of our Northwest Poets Laureate (including Canada, Alaska) so that our readers and writers have a good measure of what we consider quality work. The poem prompt is provided to inspire our writers and artists–a jumping-off point. Play with the possibilities. The editor will do the same, providing some modeling for your explorations. Click here  and scroll down for an example or go to Poet Laureate Prompts in the menu for all the prompts to date.

Themes

See the Submissions page for the current theme or themes.

About Our Name

I love the sound and meaning of williwaw:  a sudden gust of wind coming off the mountains to the sea. What a great impulse for a collection of poetry and art! But in deference to others who also liked the name, in its original spelling, I have chosen to write our name as it sounds, Will‘-a-waw. And if you remember to connect it to the word, journal, as in Willawaw Journal, you will avoid owl-like monsters and other distractions that might delay your arrival to our site.

The Editor


Our mission is to encourage readers to explore, and writers and artists to create, generating community where a diversity of voices is welcome.
